  3. Blending Problem Ferdinand Feed Company receives four raw grains from which it blends its dry pet food. The pet food advertises that each 8-ounce packet meets the minimum daily requirements for vitamin C, protein and iron. The cost of each raw grain as well as the vitamin C, protein, and iron units per pound of each grain are summarized on the next slide.

  4. Blending Problem Vitamin C Protein Iron Grain Units/lb Units/lb Units/lb Cost/lb 1 9 12 0 .75 2 16 10 14 .90 3 8 10 15 .80 4 10 8 7 .70 Ferdinand is interested in producing the 8-ounce mixture at minimum cost while meeting the minimum daily requirements of 6 units of vitamin C, 5 units of protein, and 5 units of iron.

  5. Blending Problem • Define the decision variables xj = the pounds of grain j (j = 1,2,3,4) used in the 8-ounce mixture • Define the objective function Minimize the total cost for an 8-ounce mixture: MIN .75x1 + .90x2 + .80x3 + .70x4

  6. Blending Problem • Define the constraints Total weight of the mix is 8-ounces (.5 pounds): (1) x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = .5 Total amount of Vitamin C in the mix is at least 6 units: (2) 9x1 + 16x2 + 8x3 + 10x4 > 6 Total amount of protein in the mix is at least 5 units: (3) 12x1 + 10x2 + 10x3 + 8x4 > 5 Total amount of iron in the mix is at least 5 units: (4) 14x2 + 15x3 + 7x4 > 5 Nonnegativity of variables: xj> 0 for all j

  7. Blending Problem • The Management Scientist Output OBJECTIVE FUNCTION VALUE = 0.406 VARIABLEVALUEREDUCED COSTS X1 0.099 0.000 X2 0.213 0.000 X3 0.088 0.000 X4 0.099 0.000 Thus, the optimal blend is about .10 lb. of grain 1, .21 lb. of grain 2, .09 lb. of grain 3, and .10 lb. of grain 4. The mixture costs Frederick’s 40.6 cents.

  8. Portfolio Planning Problem Winslow Savings has $20 million available for investment. It wishes to invest over the next four months in such a way that it will maximize the total interest earned over the four month period as well as have at least $10 million available at the start of the fifth month for a high rise building venture in which it will be participating.

  9. Portfolio Planning Problem For the time being, Winslow wishes to invest only in 2-month government bonds (earning 2% over the 2-month period) and 3-month construction loans (earning 6% over the 3-month period). Each of these is available each month for investment. Funds not invested in these two investments are liquid and earn 3/4 of 1% per month when invested locally.

  10. Portfolio Planning Problem Formulate a linear program that will help Winslow Savings determine how to invest over the next four months if at no time does it wish to have more than $8 million in either government bonds or construction loans.

  11. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the decision variables gj = amount of new investment in government bonds in month j cj = amount of new investment in construction loans in month j lj = amount invested locally in month j, where j = 1,2,3,4

  12. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the objective function Maximize total interest earned over the 4-month period. MAX (interest rate on investment)(amount invested) MAX .02g1 + .02g2 + .02g3 + .02g4 + .06c1 + .06c2 + .06c3 + .06c4 + .0075l1 + .0075l2 + .0075l3 + .0075l4

  13. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the constraints Month 1's total investment limited to $20 million: (1) g1 + c1 + l1 = 20,000,000 Month 2's total investment limited to principle and interest invested locally in Month 1: (2) g2 + c2 + l2 = 1.0075l1 or g2 + c2 - 1.0075l1 + l2 = 0

  14. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the constraints (continued) Month 3's total investment amount limited to principle and interest invested in government bonds in Month 1 and locally invested in Month 2: (3) g3 + c3 + l3 = 1.02g1 + 1.0075l2 or - 1.02g1 + g3 + c3 - 1.0075l2 + l3 = 0

  15. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the constraints (continued) Month 4's total investment limited to principle and interest invested in construction loans in Month 1, goverment bonds in Month 2, and locally invested in Month 3: (4) g4 + c4 + l4 = 1.06c1 + 1.02g2 + 1.0075l3 or - 1.02g2 + g4 - 1.06c1 + c4 - 1.0075l3 + l4 = 0 $10 million must be available at start of Month 5: (5) 1.06c2 + 1.02g3 + 1.0075l4> 10,000,000

  16. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the constraints (continued) No more than $8 million in government bonds at any time: (6) g1< 8,000,000 (7) g1 + g2< 8,000,000 (8) g2 + g3< 8,000,000 (9) g3 + g4< 8,000,000

  17. Portfolio Planning Problem • Define the constraints (continued) No more than $8 million in construction loans at any time: (10) c1< 8,000,000 (11) c1 + c2< 8,000,000 (12) c1 + c2 + c3< 8,000,000 (13) c2 + c3 + c4< 8,000,000 Nonnegativity: gj, cj, lj> 0 for j = 1,2,3,4

  18. Product Mix Problem Floataway Tours has $420,000 that can be used to purchase new rental boats for hire during the summer. The boats can be purchased from two different manufacturers. Floataway Tours would like to purchase at least 50 boats and would like to purchase the same number from Sleekboat as from Racer to maintain goodwill. At the same time, Floataway Tours wishes to have a total seating capacity of at least 200.

  19. Product Mix Problem Formulate this problem as a linear program. Maximum Expected Boat Builder Cost Seating Daily Profit Speedhawk Sleekboat $6000 3 $ 70 Silverbird Sleekboat $7000 5 $ 80 Catman Racer $5000 2 $ 50 Classy Racer $9000 6 $110

  20. Product Mix Problem • Define the decision variables x1 = number of Speedhawks ordered x2 = number of Silverbirds ordered x3 = number of Catmans ordered x4 = number of Classys ordered • Define the objective function Maximize total expected daily profit: Max: (Expected daily profit per unit) x (Number of units) Max: 70x1 + 80x2 + 50x3 + 110x4

  21. Product Mix Problem • Define the constraints (1) Spend no more than $420,000: 6000x1 + 7000x2 + 5000x3 + 9000x4< 420,000 (2) Purchase at least 50 boats: x1 + x2 + x3 + x4> 50 (3) Number of boats from Sleekboat equals number of boats from Racer: x1 + x2 = x3 + x4 or x1 + x2 - x3 - x4 = 0

  22. Product Mix Problem • Define the constraints (continued) (4) Capacity at least 200: 3x1 + 5x2 + 2x3 + 6x4> 200 Nonnegativity of variables: xj> 0, for j = 1,2,3,4

  23. Product Mix Problem • Complete Formulation Max 70x1 + 80x2 + 50x3 + 110x4 s.t. 6000x1 + 7000x2 + 5000x3 + 9000x4< 420,000 x1 + x2 + x3 + x4> 50 x1 + x2 - x3 - x4 = 0 3x1 + 5x2 + 2x3 + 6x4> 200 x1, x2, x3, x4> 0
